CHESED: LOVING-KINDNESS

Day 1 – Abib 16 – April 15

Chesed of Chesed: Loving-kindness in Loving-kindness

Psalm 119:1-8; I John 4:16-18

Love is the single most powerful and necessary component in life. It is both giving and receiving. Love allows us to reach above and beyond ourselves, to experience another person and to allow that person to experience us. It is the tool by which we learn to experience the highest reality -- God. Examine the love aspect of your love.

Ask yourself: What is my capacity to love another person? Do I have problems with giving? Am I stingy or selfish? Is it difficult for me to let someone else into my life? Am I afraid of my vulnerability, of opening up and getting hurt?

Exercise for the day: Find a new way to express your love to a dear one

Love, Walter And Debbie

 

[LeeB]

The two commandments Jesus gave of love GOD and neighbor are the greatest of all commandments. Mark 12:31 The love here is agape, the love that GOD is…. This agape fulfills the law or the Ten Commandments. In the new covenant for those in Christ, sin is whatever is not of the agape of GOD. 1 Corinthians 13 describes this agape. In the old covenant Israel did not have the Holy Spirit that gives us agape and therefore could never fulfill the law. In the new covenant sin is whatever is not of the agape of GOD.
